A couple weekends back, we had an open mic night on station, which was a real hit. Several individuals and bands played, from our summer population of roughly 140 people. We’ve got some really talented folks down here – a few musicians even formed up a group on the fly and did some bluegrass covers for the last set!

Our gym, converted into a cozy venue

On the music front, my banjo did make it down to Pole, but I haven’t had time to even get it tuned. My main motivation for learning banjo is a hobby over the winter, so I’m not too concerned over it for now. There’s tons of work to be done now, and plenty social things to keep busy with too! So far, my favourite is dodgeball Monday evenings.
